Aaron Brown succeeds Darren Ridge, who returns to a non-executive director role on the Onecom board. He co-founded Onecom with Darren Ridge in 2013 and, since his return to Onecom in June 2025, he has been involved in day-to-day operations.
Onecom serves more than 65,000 UK businesses, employs more than 900 people across 16 UK locations and has completed 14 strategic acquisitions in the past five years, the latest one announced in February with Matrix IT. Matrix IT’s strength is in its Microsoft offering and expertise.
Aaron Brown has commented today:
“This is a really exciting time for Onecom. Our strategic partnerships are strong, we’ve positioned ourselves as market leaders, and we’ve recently launched our new agentic AI platform, Halo which enables customers to deploy their own AI agents as part of their workforce. There’s much more happening behind the scenes and I look forward to sharing updates in the coming months. For now, I’d like to thank Darren, who will still be very much involved in the business as he returns to a non-executive director role on our board. The business has achieved so much under his leadership and he will continue to support me as we move forward.”
